Updated: 2026-11-07

As of 7 November 2026, Bookie Ledger has recorded no change on the licence register of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) among the operators it tracks. The register page shows 40 business-to-consumer licensees holding 42 licences, last updated by GRAI on 20 October 2026. This note stays empty until a second snapshot differs from the first.

## What changed?

Nothing has been recorded. The only figures we hold are the starting point against which a later snapshot will be compared.

**Starting snapshot of the GRAI licence register · register last updated 20 October 2026 · checked 7 November 2026**

| Item | Was | Now | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business-to-consumer licensees | 40 | No change recorded | GRAI licence register |
| Licences held by them | 42 | No change recorded | GRAI licence register |
| Of which remote betting (RB) | 37 | No change recorded | GRAI licence register |
| Of which remote betting intermediary (RBI) | 4 | No change recorded | GRAI licence register |
| Of which in-person betting (IPB) | 1 | No change recorded | GRAI licence register |

No changes recorded between these snapshots.

**Bottom line:** one snapshot exists, so there is no difference to report.

## When and how would we know?

A change counts only when two register snapshots differ. Each snapshot is stored with a hash, so the comparison can be repeated.

- We record the old value with its date, the new value with its date, and the register card that shows it.
- GRAI updates the register at irregular intervals, so we read it again on the day of each publication and every week.
- The register cards load by script. A browser or the CSV and ZIP export is needed, and downloading the export needs the owner's consent.

The register has a Domain Names field, empty for all 40 licensees in the records we reviewed. So we match a domain to a licence by the number on the operator's site, as shown on the [licence check page](https://bookieledger.com/licence/check-grai-register/).

**Bottom line:** two hashed snapshots, one register card and two dates make a recorded change.

## Which pages would a change touch?

A removed or edited record takes the operator out of the matrix at once. An added record is first entered in the inclusion log with the reason it is in or out.

- The [matrix](https://bookieledger.com/data/matrix/) shows the licensee, the licence number and the check date for each operator.
- The [inclusion log](https://bookieledger.com/data/inclusion-log/) lists why a licensee is in the matrix or not.
- The [register changes log](https://bookieledger.com/data/register-changes/) holds every entry, and the [changelog](https://bookieledger.com/data/changelog/) lists all notes.

Ledger scores are recalculated on the first Monday of each month, or earlier when any input fact changes.

**Bottom line:** a register change updates the matrix, the log and the scores, and then gets its own note.
